I wonder if sausages with skin not made from intestine will still be allowed to be called sausages, since that's what a sausage is supposed to be made from.

I guess they'll have to come up with a new name for blood sausage too.

I think whatever is required for third party apps and stores should also be required for play store. No special treatment for their own files.

Eg: "Warning: Are you sure you trust GooglePlayStore.apk? This software might be harmful."

I reckon that Google would magically get the messaging exactly right with that requirement.

Albanese is the name of the prime minister

Also we really shouldn't be using drug metaphors in general when talking about games.

This and the title seems disingenuous to me. A dopamine rush or hit is not a drug metaphor but a reference to body chemistry in response to something that happens in a game.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

I would like to opt out.

My bank account number is 12345, the same as the combination on my luggage.

I hadn't either.

It's a sequel to star wars episode 1 racer that was released on PS2 however the version used for this is the physical PS4 version which was produced by limited run games in limited quantities.

If you like r6 siege's terrorist hunt, perhaps you will like Ready or Not.

Or you can look for older games like SWAT 4 on gog.com.

• Emberward 20% off
• Supraland 70% off
• Immortals Fenyx Rising

Other games that look cool but I haven't played

• Eternal strands
• Shadow gambit: the cursed crew
• Teardown
• Tactical breach wizards
• Selaco

Some other options.

If you have a joystick or wheel, flight Sims, space sims, racing games might be possible.

RTS games in single player mode (just play on an easier difficulty). Plenty of decent ones have been released in the last little while. Also, maybe 4x games, total war etc.

Digital Board Games might work too.

Where do you buy them from?

Technically, this is the source:

https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/ufib2bT-IM1WodZWKcmHzg

Bradley did say that he knows the person but he isn't the source himself: https://xcancel.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1976068955510132975#m

He also posted about some data mined strings referring to Deckard dv1 and dv2 which is presumably verifiable by someone: https://xcancel.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1976141425801822419#m

You're right to be sceptical since all of this is a mix of rumours, data mining and speculation. I think it's fair to say, in this case, Bradley is more the data mining and speculation bit, rather than the rumour bit.

It was OG OC!

...unless Simpsons did it.

Hosting your own server and playing multiplayer games over LAN is playing offline. Is that what you're asking?

I doubt that the average PC gamer is commenting on those articles.

It worked on the n64!

Video games are good at feeling rewarding very quickly, with minimal effort required to get that feeling. I think that makes it easy for them to become habitual.

Maybe I'm reading to much into it but consider asking a doctor or calling a helpline to see if they think you could have something like depression, ADHD, etc. Even if you don't want to medicate, having a template of common patterns and tendencies for "your brain" can help you come up with strategies.

You could also consider other approaches.

I have a technique for doing things I don't want to do that I find works well for me. I make a rule that says I have to start doing the thing I don't want to do, and I have to do it for 60 seconds (adjust appropriately). If I want to stop after, then fine. It helps my brain switch to the new context and form new habits. Usually I end up doing more then the minimum but only if I want to.

I've also had days I woke up and wanted to game even though I actually knew I should go for a walk or get some outdoor stuff done. On those days I tell myself I can game, but I have to be ready for the day first. Similar to the above.

Also, to answer your question about game-like activities, some ideas:

Laser tag, paint bal etcl (shooters), escape rooms (puzzle games), board games/role play games, (turn based 😅), karaoke, dance classes, (music games), indoor rock climbing, hiking, (open world games)

A lot of other activities (pick almost any hobby) involve skill building which can be pretty rewarding in itself.

I may be way off base here so apologies if this post is preachy.

Xbox series s/x has ssds like this but they're pretty expensive. Not sure if the price is high because of the tech, the specs or the licensing
